The Heartland InstituteOne could pin the birth of the modern environmental movement to the early 20th century when Theodore Roosevelt’s love of nature led to the creation of America’s beautiful national parks, the preservation of land for future generations, and the beginning of a genuine effort to clean our land, water, and air. That agenda, which enjoyed broad support, has since given way to a professional “climate movement” that is obsessed with carbon dioxide emissions and addicted to gloom and doom messaging with little grounding in science.
On The Heartland Institute’s Episode #125 of The Climate Realism Show, we bring back guest Matthew Wielicki, an “earth science professor-in-exile” to talk about how and why a conservationist movement morphed into endless and ever-louder climate hysteria. Heartland’s Jim Lakely, Anthony Watts, and Linnea Lueken will also review the “Crazy Climate News of the Week,” including a new video game where you shoot “climate deniers,” a leftist publication wondering if it is time for the climate movement and media to end its obsession with stopping “climate misinformation” from being spoken, and how your refrigerator is really just a luxury that you should give up to save the planet.

Now the University of California, San Diego is requiring students to take a class in “climate change” to earn a degree. Classes such as “The Astronomy of Climate Change”, “Gender and Climate Justice”, “Indigenous Approaches to Climate Change,” and “Environmentalism in Arts and Media” are on offer. What is driving the push for shoving climate alarmism into every academic subject under the sun?
On Episide #131 of The Climate Realism Show, we invite Steve Goreham on to discuss. Steve is the executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America and author of four books, including “Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure.”
Heartland’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the week.

Over this past week, we witnessed an engineering breakthrough from Elon Musk's SpaceX. The successful launch and recapture of the SpaceX Starship booster marks a pivotal moment in the future of space travel, showcasing advancements in reusability and cost efficiency. SpaceX is paving the way for a new era where space access becomes more routine and affordable, pushing the boundaries of what is possible beyond Earth's orbit. But remember, Elon Musk is frowned upon by the political elite. Instead of commemorating this occasion and encouraging this innovation, government bureaucrats have instead chosen to stifle Musk by denying his request for additional rocket launches. Also, we are another week closer to the election and it appears Kamala Harris is getting increasingly desperate.

First Helene hit the Florida Panhandle and caused a disaster in Appalachia. And this week, Hurricane Milton struck an area of the Florida Gulf Coast that hadn’t be hit with a storm this strong in more than 100 years. On Episode #130 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely welcome back Stan Goldenberg, one of the nation’s top hurricane experts, to break down Hurricane Milton. Was this actually and officially a “major” hurricane by the time it made landfall?
We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including Bill Nye saying if you need to vote for Kamala Harris to stop hurricanes, Al Gore exploiting hurricanes for fun and profit, and the seemingly unsinkable notion that humans are able to seed and even steer hurricanes.

As the election approaches, it appears as though the mainstream media industry is desperate to paint Kamala Harris in the best light possible. For example, it appears as though 60 Minutes selectively edited their interview with VP and presidential candidate Kamala Harris to make her come off in as good a light as possible. Simultaneously, the White House Press Secretary accused correspondent Peter Doocy of spreading misinformation for simply asking a question about the Biden Administration's handling of the response to Hurricane Helene. The ITT crew talks about all this and more on this week's episode.

While the Florida panhandle was walloped when it made landfall, the storm did most of its shocking damage far from shore in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina. Entire towns were wiped clean off the surface of the earth and close to 200 lost their lives. The storm was bad, but the media has been spreading myths about both the flooding’s historic nature, and the causes of that flooding. Human-caused “climate change” had nothing to do with it, as The Climate Realism Show crew and special guest Joe Bastardi will explain. Bastardi, chief forecaster for WeatherBELL Analytics, is one of America’s leading hurricane experts and historians, and we are thrilled to welcome him back to the show.
The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including how badly EVs and hurricanes mix, who is funding the pernicious climate alarm narrative globally, whether humans can “steer” hurricanes, and more.

More than 6,000 attendees from more than 100 countries converged on the Big Apple to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly Meeting, all the better to coordinate efforts to stop climate change by taking your freedom and money. But is Climate Week losing its cache and are there cracks in support for achieving goals like Net Zero?
The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will investigate on Episode #128 of The Climate Realism Show. We will also cover Hurricane Helene, how foolish it would be to have an electric car in the path of that storm, the United Kingdom depending on the same kinds of flawed temperature stations the US does, how climate change is not threatening your daily cup of coffee, and more.

Sterling Burnett present episode 466 of the In The Tank Podcast. Surprising news dropped earlier this week when Microsoft announced a partnership that would see the reopening of the 3-Mile Island Nuclear Plant. Despite the history of the plant suffering a partial nuclear meltdown back in 1979, Microsoft is so desperate for a source of reliable energy they are moving forward with this plan. What does this reveal about the state of big tech companies and their energy needs? What does this story show in regards to America's future energy composition? The ITT crew talks about all this and more on this week's episode.
CNN - Young voter voices: This college student is skeptical of Harris being a change candidate on economy
cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-presidential-election-09-25-24/index.htmlDr. Jay Bhattacharya: The Dangers of Big Tech Censorship on Public HealthThe Heartland Institute2024-09-26 | In his insightful talk, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya addresses the growing issue of Big Tech censorship on social media and its impact on public discourse. Drawing from his own experiences, including the suppression of scientific debate during the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Bhattacharya explores how censorship stifles free speech, undermines trust in public health, and limits the free exchange of ideas. His remarks offer a critical examination of the power held by social media giants and the need for transparency and open dialogue in today’s digital landscape.
This speech was part of the Heartland Institute’s 40th Anniversary Benefit Dinner, a celebration of four decades of championing liberty and free-market principles. Featuring distinguished speakers and thought leaders, the event highlights the ongoing fight for freedom and the importance of standing up for foundational values in an era of increasing censorship and government overreach.Dr. Larry Arnn: Why Hillsdale College Defied the COVID-19 LockdownsThe Heartland Institute2024-09-26 | Dr. Larry Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, explains the decision to keep the college open during the pandemic. He reflects on the importance of preserving liberty, the role of education in upholding constitutional principles, and the responsibility to protect individual freedoms, even in the face of government mandates. Dr. Arnn’s remarks offer a thoughtful perspective on leadership and the courage required to stand by core values during challenging times.
Dr. Arnn closed his speech with: "I believe, having studied it all my life, that we may be losing control of our government. We may live in a despotism. If we do, we can be the ones — Heartland, each of you — we can leave a record, so in the future, when it comes, someone can look back and say, 'You know, they knew it was wrong, even then. And that is a service to our country."
At the Heartland Institute's 40th Anniversary Benefit Dinner, we were proud to honor Dr. Arnn with the prestigious Heartland Liberty Prize. As the 12th president of Hillsdale College and a professor of politics and history, Dr. Arnn has dedicated his career to promoting constitutional principles and educational excellence. His leadership and unwavering commitment to the ideals of liberty have profoundly shaped American thought and policy. Dr. Arnn was awarded the Heartland Liberty Prize for his invaluable contributions to the liberty movement that have preserved freedom and fostered future generations of leaders. Dr. Arnn is introduced by Joe Morris, Chairman of the Board of Directors of The Heartland Institute.Hottest Day EVER Recorded...

It will be pretty glum gathering if Donald Trump returns to the White House. The jet-setting climate bureaucrats may be putting on a brave face claiming that "global climate action" isn't dependent on who sits in the White House, but it's easy to believe that they are already having nightmares. What would Trump's election do to the global climate agenda? The Heartland Institute's H.

We are back after taking a week off while preparing for Heartland's 40th Anniversary Benefit Dinner and we have a lot of news to cover. In the time since our last episode, we have had a presidential debate, accusations of cheating during the debate, and yet another attempt on Donald Trump's life. The In The Tank crew dives into the absolute horrid state of our media industry before talking about the state of the race with only 46 days left before the 2024 presidential election.
On The Heartland Institute’s Episode #126 of The Climate Realism Show, H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also review the “Crazy Climate News of the Week,” including the idea that logging forests would make wildfires worse, climate change causing bridges to “fall apart like Tinkertoys, and NOAA being called out for pushing a false climate alarmist narrative.

This week, the ITT crew is discussing a handful of stories that revolve around some of the world's most authoritarian socialist rulers. From Brazilian President Lula going after Elon Musk and Twitter to North Korean Dictator Kim Jung Un purging government officials, it seems we are at a time when the world's socialists are desperately clinging to power. What common links can be found between these stories? And what do these events tell us about socialism in general?

With the lack of official policy platforms, how are voters supposed to know who is the real Kamala Harris?

Professional climate alarmist Michael Mann said human-caused global warming would prime the Atlantic Ocean to produce 33 named storms and several major hurricanes to lash the United States. The media, of course, jumped on that to sell gloom and doom to America. You might have noticed none of that has come to pass.
